Question

雅思口语Part 1及part3相关话题如何延伸

Answer 1

Part 1 常见的延伸和拓展思路有哪些?
1两点一线Answer+Reason1+Reason2
Do you like reading books?
Totally yes. I’m such a big fan of reading, especially English novel. Mainly because it’s a good way for me to pass time. And also it helps me to soak up the second language.
“两点一线”其实就是指我们在回答原因的时候，尽量回答两个原因。第一，这样可以满足答案有一定的长度。第二，满足递进的逻辑关系，让答案显得更有逻辑。
这里需要提醒考生的是：A一定要有连接词：mainly because + Reason 1, and also + Reason 2 是非常非常重要的，连接词便于考官去理解你的答案。如果你的答案没有连接词，在考官看来，句子之间互相独立而杂乱无章的表达，所以他们无法领会其中的“深意”。
B抽象的东西要学会具体化：上面答案里很好的把抽象的book 具体化成了English novel. 首先这样可以展示词汇。 sports magazine,science fiction novel, biography, comic book 写出来大家都认识，但是考试时候不说出来，谁知道你认识呢。另外，抽象问题具体化也为后面说Reason 2 打开了一个方向。
2聊聊自己的经历：Answer+Experience+Reason
Do you often listen to music ?
Yes, I listen to music on a daily basis. Whenever I have free time, I’ll put on my headphones and get lost in my favorite rock music, which is a good way to blow off steam.
有的时候，某些话题如果想不到两个原因，谈谈自己的经历也是可以的。说经历的方式有很多，这里介绍给大家的方法就是when + what + which is a good way to + R
When: Whenever I have free time
What : put on my headphone and get lost in my favorite rock music
Which : blow off steam
这里需要提醒考生的是，“放松”是口语考试Part 1 中的常见观点，很多题目中都可以用到，所以建议考生都准备几种表达，不要一直都是relax. 其实我们可以说 help sb to unwind, release one’s pressure, blow off steam, 都是可以来替换 relax。
3学会解释原因：Answer+Reason+Explain
Do you think it’s important to eat fruit ?
To be honest, I think eating fruit is a big deal. Mainly because it’s beneficial for people’s health.
To be more specific, fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and natural sugar, so eating fruits is a good way to help people lose weight, strengthen muscle and even boost immune system.
当考生的答案只是运用一些空洞形容词且没有实质性内容的时候(比如，sth. is adj. Reading is interesting 或者 doing sth. is adj. Playing video games is time-wasting ), 要学会去进一步解释。
Do you like reading newspaper ?
Not particularly, it’s not my cup of tea. Probably because it’s boring. That is to say, it’s generally black and white, lack of some attractive and colorful photos. Also it mainly focuses on politics, economyand current affairs.
在否定答案中，考生经常会说it’s boring, tedious, time-wasting, inconvenient等等，都不能算是一个好答案。考生以为自己把答案说完了，其实考官这时却是不理解的，一定要进一步解释。
3懂得分条件讨论
It depends.
If + 条件 1 + A + R
However if + 条件2 + B + (R)
Do you prefer to do outdoor games or indoor games ?
Well, it depends. If the weather is agreeable, I’m more willing to do some games in the outdoors, such as hiking, fishing and camping. You know, it’s a great opportunity to get close to nature and breath fresh air. However, if it’s raining outside, indoor games such as card game or board game will be a better option to have fun.
有些题目可以不用直接回答，采用分类讨论可以让答案更有延伸性，也能让考官感觉出考生有一定的思维和想法。但是，不建议在Part 1 中多次采用分类讨论，因为我们在聊天过程中总是说“It depends.( 我觉得看情况 )”，会让别人觉得很奇怪。
4评价优缺点：Mixed Feelings + Advantage + Disadvantage
Do you think internet is a good place to check news ?
Well, in terms of this topic, I have very mixed feelings.
On one hand, it’s pretty convenient to check news whenever people have free time. For example, commuters can read the latest news on their smart phones when taking underground.
However, on the other hand, news on the internet is not one hundred percent reliable and objective. Some news media bend the truth to grab audiences’ eyeballs.
中国教育方式比较注重学生的接受吸纳能力，而非辩证思考反驳的能力。于是学生在课后能广泛自发地使用因果关联关系，而使用转折关系的学生却寥寥无几。评价优缺点也就是去探讨事物的两面性，是考生在雅思口语Part 1 和 Part 3 应该熟练运用的方法。不仅可以有效的去延伸拓展答案，更可以让答案体现出西方教育中所强调的辩证思维能力。
